We aren't using 12 volt wiring for any lights in out trailer or the fridge. I would like the future ability to put in a fantastic fan, as our trailer is an Astrodome and I think that would really help on open window nights in the overhead bunk.
Can someone point me towards what I need to run now as far as wires go while the skins are off and then what the simplest option for operating would be? Could it be as simple as a battery mounted on the tongue and somehow let the battery charge when it's connected to the tow vehicle.

Thanks Vikx. What breakers do I get to go in it? I'm used to a single space for each circuit. This is two spaces, four circuits. Dont worry, I don't do the wiring, just the shopping.

The po of our trailer had rigged up the 110 electric so we've removed it all and prefer to replace all wiring including the inlet and breaker box. I am having trouble finding a 30 amp breaker box with three circuit breakers. Can someone please link me to what I need? This is the closest I can find and I don't think it's right. www.homedepot.com/p/Square-D-QO-30-Amp-2-Space-2-Circuit-Indoor-Main-Lug-Load-Center-QO2L30SCP/100157760we will have a propane /110 fridge, window a/c, lights and 2-3 plugs for cell phones, a fan, etc. i dont seem seem to have permission to post in the 110 electric forum or I'd have posted my question there

Im looking at the 2410 for my install. Im concerned with the measurements. It says 32-7/8"H x 21-3/16"W x 24"D. I can't tell if that is overall size including the front that extends out a bit or if that's what the opening needs to be. My opening is 20.75 wide. That's the measurement I'm concerned with.
If someone has this fridge could you help me out and take some measurements? thanks so much!

Thanks so much. This is the best model I've seen to fit our small space. Can I ask where you got your fridge?

Have you found a source to order just a couple boxes of these? I have mysample and trying to get two boxes of "lovely linen". Vendors either won't sell that small of A quantity or shipping is as much as the tile.

Is there a way to get sample of vct tiles? Lowes and HD weren't really any help, and I couldn't even find them on the Armstrong site. It's really hard to see the color accurately on a computer monitor. Melissa

...who doesn't like busy, nostalgic 50s and 60s kitsch and nuclear Americana? And who didn't like it in the 60s either? I don't mean the Liberace School Of Glamping graduates engrossed in their Pink Phase (shudder). Nor do I mean using good old appliances and equipment that still works. A well-built fifty year-old lantern or stove is fantastic, just like old shovels and old rifles. Old tools have history that you can feel when you pick them up. I'm with you in some ways cowcharge, and it's been on my mind lately as we are actually getting further away from building a bonfire with our 63 Shasta. I like kitsch, but too much is just that, too, too much. I'm really over what we think we remember the 50's and 60's to be like and would like to do this camper in something similar to what it would have come of the assembly line looking like. I just don't know what that was, lol. That being said, my 64 Yellowstone has yellow and which checkered floors, and a vintage fabric penant hanging in the back. And I love it! Peace and love to all, no matter how they choose to decorate!

I get tagged in all those Facebook posts too. I'm guilty too of jumping into a wreck of a trailer, actually one and now another not knowing what I was doing. Google is my friend though, and I quickly found mobiltec and this forum. Thank you for that!! Reading posts quickly showed me that outside in was the only way to go and that's how I restored the first one and how we are doing the Shasta now. Not to say we haven't patched an interior piece here and there to eliminate replacing the entire wall. But every single piece of lumber that looked like rot has or will be replaced. I'd never pull a camper very far after seeing what ours looked like between the metal and the interior birch. I'm in a local "glamper" group and I can't believe how many posts during the summer of people trying to get rid of ants and spiders in their camper. Lol. they are living in the rotted walls. Ew.

I may be getting ahead of myself, we are still replacing ceiling panels S, but I keep thinking of my mess of a stove. The enamel is good and we can replace insulation, etc. the problem is the chrome. It's a rusty mess. I went to lowes and harbor freight yesterday, but was completely confused by all the different polishing tools, attachments, and polishing sticks.
I need to get the chrome smoothed up enough to see what it looks like so I can decide whether to paint, powder coat or whatever. Can someone point me in the right direction? I've searched the forums and can't find what I'm looking for. Do I need a new tool? 😊 Or get attachments for my drill? Melissa

I really like the leg. I wonder how it hinges to the underside?
